Andrew and all,
I'm a bit surprised.
Why would a demopilot or instructor *not* offer to fly the airplane from
startup to landing ?
I understand your friend : I also would be wary of an airplane I'm not
allowed to take off and land.
My first answer when asked about a particular model is, fly the airplane
before making any decisions.
What was wrong with that particular airplane (or demo pilot ;-)))
